If done properly, it's a lot of work, but it can be a great experience. If he is interested, then I'd look at where he is now in scouting and work out a realistic plan for how he will complete the badges and rank requirements.  Some of the badges require weeks of work (physical fitness, personal management, etc.) so you can't just crank them out in a few days.

Also, make a plan to go to summer camp next summer and participate on as many camping trips with the troop as possible.

He doesn't have to earn the swimming merit badge to make Eagle, but I'd highly recommend it just from a water safety prospective (but I understand it isn't so simple with the asd&adhd diagnosis).

Our troop has had multiple kids with similar diagnosis earn Eagle, but it has to be something that the scout is highly motivated to do and you as the parent will need to be involved in the troop.

As for the actual Eagle project, it should be something that speaks to the scout and is personally meaningful to them.
